This was the question and in this repository you find an answer. In my example I want to focus on usage of some of the new datatypes: List Dictionary In CAL you you have imported the ‘BAD’ .NET Framework to use these datatypes. In Microsoft AL they are included – and this is good! Disclaimer This example is provided “AS…
